Recently I completed a study called "The Truth About Man" by Paul Washer. Let me sum up one of the lesson's I learned.
Here is a quick list of mankinds's moral corruption.
{All the following statements come straight from the Bible}
{All the following statements come straight from the Bible}
man is now (after the fall) made in the likeness of Adam
we are brought forth in iniquity
born a sinner
estranged from the womb
man's heart is evil from youth (a babe)
every intent of the thoughts of man's heart is only evil continually
we are like one who is unclean
we are not pure
we are not righteous
we are not good- for there is no one good but God
we are as a maggot
we are as a worm
all our deeds are like filthy garments
Our hearts are full of evil and insanity is in our heart throughout our lives
Our heart is deceitful and wicked, who can trust it?

Our mouth speaks what is in our hearts, and out of the heart comes:
evil thoughts
murder (quick to shed blood)
adulteries
fornications (sexual immorality)
thefts
false witness
slander
deeds of coveting
wickedness
deceit
sensuality
envy
pride
foolishness
Man has NO fear of God.

Wow! What a plight!
Our sin separates us from God and His wrath is upon us.
This is why man needs a Savior - to deliverer us from God's holy and just anger, so that we can stand forgiven and be reconciled to Almighty God.

Praise God for sending the only Savior...Jesus Christ!!
For when we repent of sins (turn from our sins to God) and trust in Jesus alone by faith to save us, we are reconciled to God (at peace with Him, no longer His enemy) and will live forever with Him!
